Clary's POV-
Back to the present

Father is finally going to let us go demon hunting when it is still a bit light, which is weird because we usually never do unless we run into one on accident.
We live in the inter-dimensional apartment most of the time, but occasionally we move into the manor in Idris, nobody knows it's there though.
After father had burned it down to fake our deaths, we had rebuilt it to it's former glory and put my special glamour rune on it.
Jonathan and I still had to train this morning and father still had to teach us all about shadowhunter history, even though we already knew basically the whole codex by heart. Apparently the history is even bigger than that. Father's methods of training us were harsh to most people's standards. But Jonahan and I knew that we are no ordinary shadowhunters, we are special and must be trained to our full ability.
Finally the time has come and we all agreed to go to New York and be back before dawn. We knew the general rules, keeps hoods up and masks on, if anyone notices you, don't give any information, just escape as quickly as possible. So with that me and Jonathan sprinted up the stairs to our rooms and dressed in our gear and then ran to the weapons room to get chocolate. Just joking we got out weapons, we got so many it could last anyone else a lifetime, we had daggers hidden in our shoes and strapped to our arms, countless seraph blades in our belts and long swords strapped on our backs in an X. We had 2 steels in our pockets so we could portal back home and then we were done. We glamour our faces and hair, we put our masks on and were finally ready to go.
Father left about 10 minutes ago because he had work to do so me and Jonathan just portal to our favorite place to hunt demons, New York.

When we got there, we headed straight for the abandoned subway where we knew there were ravener demons just waiting to be hunted.
As we walked through, the smell of death became stronger and I knew we were close. Then I saw the long, slimy, black, scaled body, I twisted and saw a set of eyes in the centre of it's domed skull, I saw one dripping green saliva and hanging off the wall.
I reached for a seraph blade and quietly named it Raphael before lunging at the one at the wall, I saw Jonathan fighting off another one near me. We were a good team, we watched each other's backs and were both as good as a fighter as the other, despite having been trained against each other our entire lives, we knew how the other worked. We were unstoppable.
We swung and slashed at the demons until they were all gone, we were there for a while, there were loads of them! I lost count how many I had killed.
Jonathan and I headed in the direction of the institute, we knew Takis wasn't too far away, that's when we saw a flash of golden hair to our right. We spun around, ending up back to back, seeing every angle, I saw a head of long black hair, I heard the almost silent whisper of a name being given to a seraph blade.
That's when the Herondale boy stepped out. I could practically feel Jonathan sneering, he couldn't take us. He walks around think he is the best, we are twice as good and there's two of us.
That's when two others stepped out. The Lightwoods, even I was sneering now.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Jace asks in a threatening voice
"We are whoever you wants us to be sweetie" I said slightly suductively as I walked up to him and fiddled with his hair
"What are you doing here?"
"Aren't we allowed to have some fun too? You're not the only shadowhunters out there you know"
I whispered in his ear, he shivered and I chuckled.
"There aren't any other shadowhunters that usually come here, they would stay with us at the institute"
"Ah but Jace, you see, that's where your wrong" he tensed as I said his name,
"How do you know my name?"
"That is for me to know, and for you...not, to find out"
I smiled as I slowly walked over to the wall of the alley and drew a rune for a portal, covering from the view of Jace and the Lightwoods, I looked at Jonathan who was smiling at me,
"Au revoir little ones, it was nice meeting you...just joking, run along now."
I smile as me and Jonathan go through the portal, leaving the 3 gaping as we leave, the portal closing behind us
As we land I turn to Jonathan and start laughing, our glamours peeling away, I no longer look older and sexier, I'm just the usual me, so is Jonathan.
It was so funny when we did that! We should hunt in New York more often.

Jace's POV-
I stood motionless as this girl was circling around me, playing with my hair and sending shivers down my spine. Why was she having this kind of effect on me? I knew it wasn't her looks, which we could only just see because of her hood, she was obviously shadowhunter, so was the other boy she was with.
They seemed to be about 15, quite young to be alone.
"We are whoever you want us to be sweetie" she purrs, what is that supposed to mean?
"What are you doing here?" I ask as confidently as I can muster
"Aren't we allowed to have some fun too? Your not the only shadowhunters out there you know" she whispers in my ear, making me shiver again as she chuckled.
Nobody makes fun of me! And besides, why would they come here to fight a few demons and leave so quickly, unless they are just passing through, they wouldn't come here just for a night then leave, they would surely stay at the institute
"There aren't any other shadowhunters that usually come here, and they would stay at the institute"
"Ah but Jace, you see that's where you're wrong" How did she know my name? And I am never wrong!
"How do you know my name?"
"That is for me to know and for you..."she paused for a bit seeming like she was thinking, "not to find out" before walking over to the wall in the alley with the other boy and walking through a portal, wait when did a portal get there?! I saw her say something but I wasn't listening, I was trying to process everything that just happened.
I heard Izzy and Alec rambling on faintly in the background but I wasn't listening, how was there just a portal there? and who were those 2 people? There was something different about them, almost like they were shadowhunters...but weren't at the same time.
I'm going to talk to Hodge as soon as we get back to the institute.
The girl's words keep replaying in my head, I was trying to make sense of them, how did she know my name? what was she hiding? who were they? All these questions and nobody knew the answer, I decided to look through the library, they have to have something on portal that can appear without a warlock being there.


I've locked myself in the Library for 3 days now with a few breaks for food and what not, I have found nothing about being able to create portals without the magic of warlocks, and I have decided that I need to get out and stretch my legs, so I go to the training room to relax.
My head automatically clears, the question still in the back of my mind, those two are different and I am determined to find out how, I just have no idea where to start when I don't even know who they are.
